Embodiments of the technology described herein, are an intelligent system that aims to expedite a text design process by providing text design predictions interactively. The system works with a typical text design scenario comprising a background image and one or more text strings as input. In the design scenario, the text string is to be placed on top of the background. The textual design agent may include a location recommendation model that recommends a location on the background image to place the text. The textual design agent may also include a font recommendation model, a size recommendation model, and a color recommendation model. The output of these four models may be combined to generate draft designs that are evaluated as a whole (combination of color, font, and size) for the best designs. The top designs may be output to the user.
